Subject: [PATCH 0/9] doc/lispref/intro.texi: Copyediting
Date: Wed, 04 Jul 2012 20:15:25 -0000

Whilst reading through the Emacs Lisp reference (specifically intro.texi),
I did some copyediting, which resulted in the following patch series:

  doc/lispref/intro.texi | 36 ++++++++++++++++++++----------------
  1 file changed, 20 insertions(+), 16 deletions(-)

  [1] Offset modifier with a comma
  [2] `can' -> `may'
  [3] Eradicate that pesky future tense
  [4] More precise language about argument types
  [5] Use singular form in a sentence
  [6] Re-fill a paragraph
  [7] `optional' -> `&optional'; `rest' -> `&rest'
  [8] More precise language for what a variable is
  [9] Use passive voice

Patches [4], [5], and [6] could be squashed together if that is
desirable

Sincerely,
Michael Witten
